At the pre match press conference can one of the reporters please ask for an injury update on Lavia, Colwill and Essugo.
23 Jan 2026 17:03:01
Yes please may they!
23 Jan 2026 17:13:01
i can tell you the answers Tom don't worry.
Colwill - ahead of schedule, recovering really well we might see him before end of season
Lavia- we don't know what's wrong with him and we have even less idea when he returns- he, ll play 45 mins in a. couple months time as a nice surprise, play really well and then mysterious vanish again
and finally
essugo- Whos that?!

And perhaps there will be a question again on Palmer's fitness/fitness management.
23 Jan 2026 17:31:20
Why would they? As far as I last heard they are all long term injuries. It’s not current the reporters are only interested in availability for the next game.
23 Jan 2026 21:15:02
Well, at least one question was asked and answered.

Tom,
I think Essugo has pi kes up yet another injury in training, Lavia or Levi I don't think will be back soon. Levi should be allowed to recover this season then come back fighting fit for next season, Lavia, I have given up on.

Essugo out for around a month, Lavia back in training but not available tomorrow, Colwill long term but might be back for the final of the champions league ?.
